The **Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Competition** is a science and technology program where teams of students imagine and describe a future technology that could realistically exist in 10 or more years. Working in groups, participants identify a current scientific or technological challenge, research existing solutions, and then propose an innovative concept that builds on real scientific principles. The competition emphasizes clear scientific thinking, creativity, and the ability to communicate complex ideas in an understandable way. This program is a good fit for students who enjoy **STEM**, especially those interested in research, engineering, or applied science. It is particularly valuable for students who like working in teams and are willing to engage in in-depth background research. Participation can strengthen **college applications** by demonstrating initiative, collaborative problem-solving, and experience with a structured research and design process. Students gain practice in: - Conducting and synthesizing scientific research - Applying STEM concepts to real-world problems - Developing written and visual project materials ExploraVision can be especially meaningful for students considering STEM majors, as it helps them explore how current science might shape future technologies. More information, including eligibility details and submission guidelines, is available on the official website.
